An Act to amend the Broadcasting Act 1976

BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1 Short Title

This Act may be cited as the Broadcasting Amendment Act (No. 2) 1985, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Broadcasting Act 1976 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

2 Remuneration and expenses of members of Corporation and committees

The principal Act is hereby amended by repealing section 11, and substituting the following section:

“11

“(1)

The Corporation is hereby declared to be a statutory Board within the meaning of the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951.

“(2)

There shall be paid to the members of the Corporation and to the members of any committee appointed by it (not being members of the Corporation or members of a committee to which subsection (3) of this section applies) remuneration by way of salary, fees, or allowances and travelling allowances and expenses in accordance with the Fees and Travelling Allowances Act 1951, and that Act shall apply accordingly.

“(3)

Notwithstanding anything in subsection (2) of this section, the Corporation may pay to any committee appointed by it under section 10(4) of this Act to advise the Corporation or its Services on matters relating to programmes, or to any member of any such committee, such sum by way of contribution towards the expenses incurred by the committee or member of the committee, as the Corporation from time to time determines.

“(4)

The total amount payable by the Corporation under subsection (3) of this section in respect of any meeting of a committee to which that subsection applies shall not exceed the total amount that would have been payable in respect of that meeting if remuneration and travelling allowances and expenses had been payable in respect of that meeting under subsection (1) of this section.

“(5)

Any money payable under subsection (2) of this section shall be paid from the Consolidated Account out of money appropriated by Parliament for the purpose; and the money so paid shall be repaid to that Account from the Broadcasting Account.”

3 Renewal and amendment of conditions of warrants

(1)

Section 81 of the principal Act is hereby amended by adding the following subsection:

“(5)

Where the holder of a warrant makes an application for the renewal of the warrant or an application under subsection (4) of this section in relation to the warrant, the powers of the Tribunal to renew the warrant or to amend or revoke any of the terms or conditions of the warrant or to add any new terms or conditions may, if the application is unopposed, be exercised on behalf of the Tribunal by one member of the Tribunal.”

(2)

Section 78 of the principal Act (as amended by section 7 of the Broadcasting Amendment Act 1985) is hereby consequentially amended by repealing subsection (4b).

This Act is administered by the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand.
